Post-Christmas food and drinks?

Kitteh — Mon, 02 Nov 2015 12:19:27 -0800

Shepherd and I will be in Toronto in December from the 24th to the 28th. Does anyone want to get together for food and drinks after Xmas Eve/Xmas Day/Boxing Day?

We're staying near Trinity Bellwoods park, IIRC. Anyway, I realize it's often family time/travel time, but I thought I'd ask!

Obviously, the timing might make things challenging, but I live nearby and will try to make it.

We're in town for the holidays - could potentially do Boxing Day.

I was thinking Porter House for food & drinks, but since I don't know their holiday hours, I have emailed them to ask. Shepherd and I had an incredibly good meal there when we saw you guys last (it was a mini-date night) and I am eager to go back and try other dishes.

LoRichTimes and I will be out of the country but another vote for Porter House as being excellent.

It's unlikely I'll be able to make it, but I'd never heard of that place! Thanks for the tip!

The chip butty is so exquisite, I am 99% sure my tastebuds wept.

I saw that! I'm thinking that might be my gateway to Marmite.

By: Kitteh

Kitteh — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 09:17:44 -0800

It is so intensely savoury! And I love Marmite so for me: Marmite plus fries plus good bread equals I DREAM OF YOU EVERY NIGHT SANDWICH.

your scaring me

By: maudlin

maudlin — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 10:00:12 -0800

(OTPH, I do like some intensely savoury things, and from what I hear, the canonical application of Marmite is a scraping, not a glob.)

I have never been, but with the prospect of simultaneously discovering an unfamiliar venue and unfamiliar mefites, I don't see how I can say no.

We're definitely maybe - 27th or 28th could work for us too.

By: mandolin conspiracy

mandolin conspiracy — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 18:14:44 -0800

Moved us to yes - good for 26th or 27th.

Hi guys, I am going to go ahead and call it for Sunday, the 27th at 6 pm. Porter House is kinda small and they open at 5 so Shepherd and I will try to get there early enough to nab enough seats for all of us (they don't take reservations). If the venue is closed--I still haven't heard back from them--I will update this. LET US ALL EAT CHIP BUTTIES

Oh god, I spent the summer after Freshman year living with my girlfriend and her Scottish parents. It will be a cold day in hell before I ever eat a chip butty again.

I am doing family stuff on the 2 weekends before actual Christmas so I can make it anytime during your stay. The 27th works :)

I'm not yet sure which days the restaurant is staying open

By: Kitteh

Kitteh — Thu, 12 Nov 2015 08:31:17 -0800

Yeah, they haven't gotten back to me. I should call...

Not sure where I'll be, but if i'm home that place is too close to my house not to come out.

Not sure if I'll be in town by the 27th, but I'll drop by if I am.

I also don't know where the holiday tornado will take me, but if I'm free it's a definite maybe.

Hey everyone, just letting you know that I heard from the guys at Porter House and they will be open that night, so see you on the 27th at 6 pm!

Is this still happening!?

By: feckless fecal fear mongering

feckless fecal fear mongering — Wed, 23 Dec 2015 18:16:17 -0800

I'll probably still be in Brampton, sorry.

By: Kitteh

Yes, it is still happening! We are on our way to TO now, actually.

OK great! We have 5 people at least. I hope others will consider popping by!

We have 6 despite Shepherd NOT RVSPing despite me nagging him to do it. Oh wait, he said he did. Oops.

I hate to do this, but Marisa hasn't been feeling well today. We were hoping she would rally, but she is still bedridden and it's not looking like we're going to make it. Very sorry, especially since we are the organizers! I hope everyone has a great time.

By: cranberrymonger

cranberrymonger — Sun, 27 Dec 2015 13:47:21 -0800

Ah. Well if the organizers can't make it, I think we had better call it off.

Feel better. Another time, then.

Aww! Feel better soon!

Hello, everyone! I am so sorry I couldn't see everyone but when you faint and don't remember why you fainted just that your husband is trying to make sure you're okay because hey why I am on this tile floor, it was better to err on the side of caution. We're going to try and make it to Toronto more in the New Year so I will see all of you soon. (I am super bummed about not getting my chip butty. I had been dreaming of it for weeks.)
